MD23 shorted out :S ?
After powering up guarddog after my summer vacations it started moving in an erratic way front and back before the motherboard booted , I immediately pulled out the power cable but now the MD23 board wont even power the red led ( that signals that the board has voltage on its ends ) the board seems to be fried ( http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/md23tech.htm ) , but I have no idea why..
The USB 2 I2C module seems intact and so does everything else
I will have to order a new one but since the MD23 controller is discontinued I will have to go with the MD25 one ( http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/md25tech.htm )
It is a pretty big set back since I was about to start meshing together 2D snapshots to a 3D world representation using the data from the motor encoders but now I have to wait for the order to ship from England and then rewire everything etc..
Anyways , 3 interesting videos !
